Sometimes anger is proper 
2006-07-17
Something that is missed is, sometimes you blow your stack when fully pushed to the wall with no recourse. Even a rabbit will bite in that situation. If this response is occasional, rather than a routine lifestyle, and results from the other person's dogmatic refusal to compromise while attacking your core values, it may indeed be the "other person's fault", or more accurately, you made a bad choice in mates.
Anger busting 101

This book changed my life and is helping to change my husbands
Excellent book, a MUST read for ANYONE that has anger issues 2005-03-12
This book is great. It's not only good for men that have anger issues and women that love them, but it is also good for women with anger issues. ANYONE with an anger problem can benefit from this book.
I think this book should be a requirement for ALL men in anger management. Every counselor that deals with men with anger issues should also read this book and recommend it to their patients.
If you're not sure if you have an anger problem, but have been told by others that you do; then this book is for you too. It shows great real life examples of anger, how it harms, and what needs to be done to change the behavior.
This book is so helpful that I want to buy another copy to donate to my local library.
Who'd a Thunk It? 2004-08-29
This surprising book debunks a popular theory on anger control and instead uses a technique I wouldn't have guessed.
Buy this book if you want a workable procedure to cure anger that doesn't resort to psycho-babble. I know first-hand; its approach worked with a family member.

"Destructive anger hurts your health, makes you miserable, blocks solutions, wastes your energy, keeps you helpless, invites attacks, imprisons your spirit, wrecks human relations, gives you headaches, causes accidents, ruins restful sleep and turns a love life into a lonely life." ~Newton Hightower
Are some men addicted to rage? Can anger addiction be similar to alcohol addiction? Are there really biochemical changes in our bodies when we become angry, swear or pound things?
Newton Hightower was once a rageaholic who tried meditation, pillow-pounding and other methods, to no avail. He kept thinking he could gain control and change his behavior. Through his own experience with rage, and the consequences of being fired and becoming depressed, he developed the Recovery Method.
Did you know that children whose parents fight are more depressed than children from non-fighting families?
Did you know there is a way to control your conversations. It is not only humorous, it
will be very healing for your partner.
The conversation on pg. 45 is just a brilliant example. A man who is in control of his emotions, can say he is sorry and can admit to being wrong can be very sexy. Especially if he is controlling his emotions and making you feel safe and secure at the same time. There are ways to make a woman blossom and there are ways to kill her spirit. This book discusses both. Often, fighting is a way to say: "You are not paying me any attention, so I'll fight with you and get your attention."
The author offers:
15 Behaviors to avoid when angry. Some behaviors to avoid are: "Speaking, being sarcastic, yelling, criticizing, interrupting and name-calling."
20 Principles to replace negative traits - This list will encourage spiritual change that will not only benefit a marriage relationship. It will help men live on a deeper level.
11 Comments partners should avoid in order to defuse tense situations.
9 Ideas to help partners overcome their angry outbursts
7 Guidelines for effective communication with angry partners
Anger can destroy relationships and Newton Hightower went through two divorces before he realized his anger was a contributing factor in the failure of his marriages. Surprisingly, he was also trying to cure rage in others and it was making their rage worse. He had not found the answers. He then decided that if rage could be increased, it could also be decreased. He found the answers through a painful personal journey.
This book is divided into three main sections. The Introduction explains anger and also gives an Anger Self-Assessment Test.
Section I: The ABCs for Angry Men
Section II: Decision Time for Women
Section III: The ABCs for Women Who Are Training Angry Men
Throughout the book, you will find cute cartoons, great examples, enlightening quotes, conversations and statistics. I found this book to be insightful, truthful and informative. Now only will you find out the truth about anger, you will be enlightened in a new way. These principles can be used to improve communication on all levels.
This book is filled with truth. As a woman, I can say that yes, it can take a long time to get over the emotional pain of being verbally abused. No matter how short the argument, it can leave a woman damaged and even suicidal. A woman will often just stop speaking because she has become that angry herself. I would rather hear "I love you, I?m sorry for what I just said," than "I'm crazy."
Some of the conversations were such beautiful examples of how a man can take control of his relationships and really show the woman he is with that he loves her more than he loves his anger. I also enjoyed the wisdom gained from a variety of cultures and religions.
Chapter four is interesting and frightening. There are women all over America who live in fear of being at home. It was shocking to learn that twice as many women are killed by their husbands or boyfriends than are murdered by strangers. The author explains how some men are Cobras and others are Pit Bulls. He also explains how you should protect yourself. There is a list of organizations to assist women who are being battered.
If you are a man who wants to stop fault-finding, sarcasm, arguing, self-justification, rage and violence, this program might save your marriage, help you keep your job, keep you out of prison or prevent death. In general, this book can encourage healthy relationships.
If you are a woman, this might be the book you have been searching for. Finally you might be able to have a conversation with your husband without being verbally abused and finally live in an emotionally healthy climate.
The principles in "Anger Busting 101" encourage men to change their behavior quickly, dramatically and forever. If you are experiencing verbal abuse from the man you love, I can highly recommend this book. You will finally know if you should leave, stay and help your husband or seek counseling yourself. Anger will not only destroy a relationship, it can destroy your entire life.
You can make Peace with Your Anger.
You can make Your Relationships More Peaceful.
This is a guide to Peace. There is hope that you can calm the volcano and stop the destruction before it overflows into the lives of those you love.

Newton is a genius 2008-05-07
This book has been so helpful for me. I have given it to many guys with anger problems - just wish they realized it and read it! It coincides well with Joel Osteen and with the book Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me)!
Inspiring and simple 2007-12-31
In simple strong direct clear language, this book describes in detail an exceptionally effective method of helping individuals with anger and rage problems turn themselves around, so that they can participate in constructive and loving relationships. Very inspiring!
I'm sure this is helpful, but.......

It focuses on men who hit women, not on men who need to deal with anger constructively. Just not what I was looking for.

If you men with patience problems, contemptuous communications, etc. that equate to ANGER want simple advice and checklist type steps to help you gain control of 'flaw' in your personality, look no further.
If you ladies that care about/love a man with ANGER problems want simple advice and checklist type steps to help you help your man control the 'flaw' in his personality, look no further.
Simple to read and valuable for both genders.
I highly recommend it.
Excellent 2007-01-04
Very informative and easy to read for both sides of an angry relationship. There are many scientific facts in this book that you wouldn't realize without it. Like the effect cursing has on the chemical reations in your body and how aggresive driving effects the rest of your daily interactions. It also tells the different types of angry men and which ones can be reformed and the ones to walk away from.
